This coffee shop may not be light-years ahead of it's time, but it offers a great place to share the valuable time that we like to share with others.

Sammy Brandt

I love this place so much. My mom and i have been coming every Saturday I'm in Powell River for over 6 years now and all the staff know us on site and what our usual order is. They're always veru friendly, their food is delicious, and the smoothies are fantastic. (Wish the pina colada one was still available in the winter! That's literally my only complaint!)

The Canadian Patriot

the staff are friendly, awesome people, and a great local option for a variety of hot and cold drinks, various lunches and snacks. a long running, locally owned staple of the city.

Drey Devito

Best coffee place in town, delicious coffee, if you want beer you can get a beer, and delicious foods. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Ben Klein

A really fabulous coffee spot in Powell River. They have high ceilings and a darker browner decor that leaves you feeling like it is trying to be a living room. They provide a variety of cooked meals, baked goods, and of course prepared drinks. The smoothies are ok, but I would stay away from their Veggie Smoothie too much cucumber. They have a kids play area for infants that has some interesting toys. Bathrooms are clean. The high ceiling does mean that during peak periods it can get quite loud. The staff are friendly and helpful. They also do limited table service for prepared items. There is ample parking from the strip mall nearby. There is a small bike rack and they are on the transit route.

Karen Morrison

Very good coffee, purchased some of their beans to take back home. Had lunch there, a bit expensive for what we got and they charged my sister full price for a half cup as well as full price for a warm up which was a bit excessive, but otherwise its a nice place.

RC

Mackinlee Brisbin

One of the best coffee shops in town, I am always greeted by name when I visit despite the various masks over the last year. I was grateful they were open over the spring/summer when many places were not. Friendly staff and delicious food/coffee everytime!

Jordie Yow

This place is really great, best coffee in town, excellent sandwiches (especially the reuben). Baked goods are tasty. That said their hours are terrible for how good they are. They close at 2 and aren't open on weekends. Staffing issues apparently. When they are open can't recommend them highly enough.

Allan Chow

Staff was absolutely wonderful and amazingly friendly. Unfortunately the coffee falls short as the latte I had was watery with too much foam. Lots of seating!

Jenn Gaiger

Terrific plane and the Savary Island blend is the best. Terrific baked goods, healthy lunches, and awesome staff. A favourite of mine for as long as they've been in business. Highly recommend.

Philip Schram

Been here a few times. Food is fine and the place is quirky.

Damon Stennett

The perfect marriage of food and caffeinated beverages. We've been going to RCC (That's what I call it, because I'm hip) for 11 years now and they have been my rock and foundation all that time. While other stores, good ones, came and went, RCC has stayed the course, providing constantly great coffee (a beautiful raspberry white chocolate mocha) and their staple, The Lumberjack, breakfast wrap. Besides those, which my wife and I adore, I've always been partial to a good Reuben and RCC makes a fantastic one. Only Magpie's Diner in Cranberry comes close to it (and they do come close. I'd love to see a Reuben-Off competition some day. But I digress). Well, I was positively gobsmacked to learn from my wife, who is The biggest lover of Benedicts I've ever known (Cumberbatch included), that our favourite coffee shop has done the unthinkable - put the Reuben into a Benny! Never have I ever imagined such a wondrous cohabitation of our chosen culinary loves. So we made arrangements and set off at the earliest opportunity - The next morning as it was late when the discovery made itself known through my darling wife's vocal apparatus. Now I was cautiously optimistic. I really didn't know if it was possible to capture the beauty of a Reuben in an egg dish, let alone a benny. So, I was prepared for a good benny that had some ingredients you also found in a reuben. I was not ready for what my brutish tastebuds encountered, which was perfection. I don't know how, but they magicked a reuben and a benny together and retained the unique qualities of both. Bravo. I provide pictures for visual, if not olfactory or taste-ory evidence. Incidentally, someone needs to make computers scratch and sniff.

Dan Keyworth

Best place in town for Coffee and snacks

Marty Atherton

phuzee wuzee

Best cup of coffee I've had this year. Breakfast sandwich and baked goods were delectable. Staff were courteous, friendly and fun. I would make the ferry trip from Courtenay again just for the coffee... It's just a bonus that everything else rocks too!

RG Danger

Always enjoy it here, great food, friendly, good for kids.

Phil Kemp

Good coffee and scone and patio table in part shade.

vienna lerec

Writing reviews on bad places isn't my favorite thing to do but I must admit, I did enjoy flexing my sarcasm muscles in this one, as they were really, really bad!

It's worth visiting anyway. I would highly recommend it to others.

Maxine VanBrabant

Great coffee. expensive breakfast with very tiny portions. :(

Jordan Rebner

Went here on a whim because they were open a little later than another coffee shop we were looking at and I'm really glad we did. Food was incredibly tasty. Really good grilled cheese. I had the hummus as well which was just super fresh. Coffee was also pretty good. No complaints on that front, but it was really the food that made this place stand out.

Paige Canuel

I had the most lovely bergamot latte. The barista told me they were able to veganize almost anything on their menu!! I also enjoyed an date and oat square that was above average. excellent service and the house roasted beans were impressive ????????

Nicole F

Love river city. They'll make you anything and they are always nice.

Debbi Dk

Eileiah Kelly

Great staff

Anne Salfi

Nice comfy place. WiFi. Good coffee

Bryan Attrell

It doesn't get much better than this! Coffee is the best! Must have the breakfast burrito.

Mark Epik

The food is amazeballs. Menuis always fresh and unique. Staff provides great service. Only drawback is the do not offer pour over or French press. With coffee been this good it would be much improved service if the brewing allowed one to experience thetasting notes on their menu.

Chris Goggins

Great coffee shop. Tied for best in Powell River. Breakfast burrito is a staple.

Travis Mclean

I don't drink coffee but the food is great.

Nicki Dinsdale

Always great coffee and the baked goods are delis! !..the only bad thing about here is having to only choose between only one scone or muffin or sandwich or...owners & staff

Bridget Andrews

Always good!

Aurora Davies

Delicious food and friendly staff. Fully recommend the wheat free energy balls as an amazing treat at any time!
